Skp File Names

Brett McAllister

Hi Guys

I was wondering if it was possible using ruby, to get the name of the skp file that is currently open in sketchup.
I have had a look through the api but have not had much luck finding what I was after.
Any help would be appreciated

I had a good through the model class and I could not see anything.
Cheers

assume: model = Sketchup.active_model

Instance method: model.path

Returns the full pathname, if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.
Instance method: model.title
Returns only the SKP name (filename only MINUS the extension,) if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.* Equivalent to: File.basename(model.path).split('.')[0]
File.basename(model.path)
Will return the full filename (including extension,) if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.
See also: model.modified?

if model.path.empty?
  # model is UNSAVED
  if model.modified?
    # model may need to be SAVED
  else
    # model is a NEW unmodified SKP
  end
else
  # model WAS saved at some time
  if model.modified?
    # model may need to be SAVED
  else
    # model file is sync'd with that
    # which is currently loaded.
  end
end

Added model reference assumption, and use of: File.basename(model.path)]
